Without for a moment forgetting the hatred being faced by Jews, we should also remember that they are not alone in their persecutions. Few if any of the 100,000 Christians forced to flee their homes this year in Mozambique will attend a high-profile university. TV news channels gave little or no attention to the six Christians slaughtered in Somalia on Good Friday.
